The architectural charm of ancient coastal dwellings blends with real Mangalorean and Goan flavors here, immersing visitors in a rich natural beauty and cultural significance.

With polished hardwood tables and braided cane chairs that entice guests to stay, the design, which spans 2000 square feet and 75 covers, is dominated by natural materials. Umesh Desai designed Bekal House.

Each dish, prepared under the guidance of Chef Lalit Chunara, who is an expert in using coastal products and traditional cooking methods, captures the spirit of Mangalore's culinary legacy.
